31 DAYS OF COFFEE MUGS: The Golden Girls (2020)

I remember my mother watching the award winning television series The Golden Girls in the 1980s and I know I watched it sometime after that, too. 

The show ran for a total of seven seasons and offered up a whopping 180 episodes. An amazing 27.2 million people tuned in to the series finale in 1992. 

It starred four legendary actresses: Beatrice Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty, all of whom are gone now except for Betty White, who is 98 years old as I write this in 2020. 

The premise of the show was four senior citizen roommates who managed one way or another to live in the same house and stay friends. 

The series has had incredible staying power. All these years later, it is still widely beloved. It is popular with older folk who may or may not have watched it originally as well as with younger folk who were not even born when it first aired. The Queen Mum loved it and Sir Laurence Olivier did, too. 

The BBC calls it the most treasured show ever saying it is the "ultimate pop culture goodie: more naughty-but-nice" and describing the characters as 'fiercely funny, unashamedly soppy, brazenly glamorous (1980s style) and bravely outspoken.' 

If you or someone in your life loves The Golden Girls, they will love this fun coffee mug that features a drawn illustration of The Golden Girls on one side and the text 'Stay Golden' on the other.  I am featuring it here as the second mug in my 2020 series, 31 Days of Coffee Mugs.

Fixer Upper's Chip & Joanna Gaines Play The Newlywed Game

I am not a designer, my house is far too busy operating as an eBay store to be artfully arranged. However, that does not stop my husband and I from watching and thoroughly enjoying television programs like HGTV's Fixer Upper.

As a matter of fact, we are like so many others eager to know more about Chip and Joanna Gaines who are entertaining to watch but also very talented at what they do in this popular television program.

I smiled then when I discovered this video in which the talented duo play The Newlywed Game.

I am not sure that my memory would serve as well were my husband and I to sit down and play this version of the Newlywed game though I think it would be a fun game to play at a family or friends gathering.

Did you know Chip and Joanna are releasing a book that tells their story? Interestingly, when The Magnolia Story appeared on Amazon it instantly zoomed to the top of Amazon's best seller list. It is meant to share answers to the questions that fans want to know like: "Who are these people? What’s the secret to their success? And is Chip actually that funny in real life?" It'd be a great gift for anyone who enjoys the series and who is interested in the couple's story. It's on my wish list.

Are you one of the myriad of people who enjoy Chip & Joanna Gaines work on Fixer Upper?
